    My condolences to Michelle’s family. I was a classmate of Michelle’s. Michelle was such a beautiful and kind soul. So blessed to have had her in my life during the teenage years. Just being around her made you feel joyful. Rest in peace Michelle.

    I want to thank everyone who reached out and who helped me and Tyler get through this difficult time.

    I’d like to especially thank my brother William, and Daniel. My sister in law Jenny, and Michelle’s best friend Tracey. Family who made the trip from South Carolina, and family from North Carolina. Thanks for coming, it meant a lot us.

    Thank you to Josh, the preacher who performed the service. And the entire staff at Peninsula Funeral Home. The whole process was stress free and beautifully done. Everyone else that came to the service, thank you. And of course, thank you G (my mom). You’re always there for me no matter what.

    Michelle will be missed greatly, and always loved. There is some comfort knowing Michelle will no longer be in pain. And also knowing she is up there reunited with her mother again.
